• very old Concertina music available

    From snavoyosky@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 3 12:31:47 2018
    I have a 24" long bankers box tightly filled with old concertina music that will go into recycling unless there's a taker out there. I bought this large collection in 1985 together with accordion materials and this music was old then. Yes there are
    arrangements in there. No I do not have a list of tunes.
    My location is SW Florida and I am moving North in few weeks. The weight of this box is easily 50 pounds plus so UPS shipping costs would be excessive. Ideal if one would live within reach of me by vehicle.
    Make an offer. Buyer pays shipping and price in advance.

    When you say "concertina music", that can mean different things
    to different people.

    To me, I would think of English System concertainas. (Small, hexagonal, octagonal, or duodecagonal.

    To others, there would be "Anglo System" concertinas. (Also
    small, hexagonal, octagonal or possibly duodecagonal.)

    And yet to others, there would be music for The Chemnitzer (big
    square box), or the Bandoneon (similar in shape). The Chemnitzer
    (which is often called "Concertina" by its players, is most commonly
    used for Polka music in the midwest US, though it originated in Germany.
    (And it tends to require rather specialized notation, so this may be
    what you have -- and it would be useless to me.)

    Squeeze On,
    DoN.

    So if you were truly interested in 'very old' concertina music regardless of meaning, you would have investigated it or acquired it sight unseen rather than expound repetitively on the types.
    The stock is gone to a delighted musician who found most of the material came from the United Kingdom.
    A most astute reply came from Ike and I congratulate him.

    Merely curious as to whether it was tablature. One might imagine so, If
    it were specifically for the concertina. If it were, then it would not
    work for any but a specific concertina. I'm not sure why you bothered to
    post it here.

    Music is music, unless it is tablature.

    The music for the Chemnitzer has special markings at the top
    indicating which key you need to press. Many are just numeric, but
    there are ones with asterisk '*', '#', and a dagger or cross.

    And -- in addition, there is a '^' above some to indicate
    bellows travel direction. (I *think* that the '^' means press,
    instead of the "pull" which I would have expected, but what I have is
    stored somewhere else, and not easy to access, so I may be
    mis-remembering.

    If the OP is correct he made someone happy. Some Chemnitzer players can
    play from symphony scores. LOL
